This original creation was inspired by a family recipe, and reflects the values of haute couture in that it comes in different flavours and with different accompaniments, which are adapted to the seasons and events of the year. These homemade shortbread biscuits are made according to the family tradition, combined with cutting-edge technology and an exclusive mould.

Sepia
This old-fashioned snack bar has been completely redesigned and decorated with the invaluable help of architect Olivier Sabran and graphic designer Julien Bouvet to reflect the cuisine on offer: simple yet refined.

Paul Langlère's cuisine at Sépia is instinctive and Mediterranean.

When the plate features meat, there's always smoked mackerel, anchovies, bottarga or shrimp broth to accompany it.

And when it's the sea that presides, a pot-au-feu broth or slices of smoked duck breast are rarely missed.

Paul's desserts are no exception.

His stunning citrus floating island with lime caramel, or his vanilla moelleux with celery shavings and Granny apple espuma, stamp the Sepia experience with their originality.
‍
All this, without ever losing sight of the seasons.

As much as possible, the Chef feeds on products from the abundant terroir surrounding Marseille.

Herboristerie du Père Blaize (herbalist's shop)
The Blaize family's story began in the Ecrins Valley, in the Hautes-Alpes. At the beginning of the 19th century, Toussaint Blaize, a pioneer, grew up surrounded by a wide variety of medicinal plants. He learnt how to use them, and how to treat his loved ones, and his neighbours with them. The village soon became aware of his talent and called upon his services. His reputation as a healer even extended well beyond the local area. This became his career and he decided to settle in Marseille, close to La Canebière. Père Blaize concocted new recipes and his name became a reference. In 1845, François took over the reins. Then followed Pauline and her husband, Joseph Bonnabel, then Paul, the first in the family to become a qualified pharmacist, and finally, Maxence, Martine's father.
This passion became a family tradition. We stock the entire range of medicinal plants, aromatic plants, exotic plants, spices, plant powders, plant extracts (liquid extracts - sprays, tinctures), 100% pure essential oils, vegetable oils, dietary supplements, and 'Jardin de Blaize' natural cosmetics. We also make our own pharmaceutical preparations for herbal medicine, aromatherapy, homeotherapy and allopathy.
